Leonard, yes, it was Gran Turismo.
 
My experience with them was seamless, but, as is pretty apparent here, a lot of us have had dramatically different experiences with some of the same vendors. I had a lousy experience with Classic Jaguars on some shocks, but I'm sure someone else had a good one. In any event, there are a bunch of Jag outfits out there, I'm sure, who can supply the conversion kit. Caveat emptor, as they say.

Cranky i havn't holed my pan so whats my excuse.

your pics clarify a lot , i did'nt realize they attached to the lower arm, i thought the connected to the jag hub assy.

Leanard, what was your beef with gt jag?

Here's a picture of the rear frame bracket for a contemporary. with this setup the rear attachment point is in line with the inner pivot of the lower control arm. The quality is bad becauce it's a digital pic of a 35mm print, sorry.

Maybe it was better before I figured out how to post pictures......

Here's a shot of what I figured would work best for the E-M, the rods attach at the hub pivot point because the further out on the arm, the less flex/better leverage. The rear mounting point is about 5" below the body, but those heavy 2x2 tubes should provide great protection for the gas tank if I ever get rearended by a go cart :).....

What about the Jag rear brakes? I will be pulling the body off of my Unique again next weekend and one of the things I plan to do is to upgrade my rear stoppers. I have Wilwoods on the front and they work fine. Does anybody market a bolt-in rear brake kit for the Jag IRS?

CWI has a kit that uses your calipers (with a spacer) to change to vented rotors. Anything bigger and you must start machining and grinding.
